Tillman Fiber to expand fiber network across Treasure Coast<\/p>\n

PORT ST. LUCIE \u2014 Tillman Fiber today announced a nearly $70 million investment to expand its fiber network across Florida\u2019s Treasure Coast, bringing new high-capacity broadband infrastructure to communities throughout St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River counties.<\/p>\n

\ufeffConstruction is underway in Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, and Vero Beach, with additional projects planned in Sebastian. The investment will expand Tillman Fiber\u2019s 100% fiber network across the region, providing infrastructure designed to support reliable, high-capacity connectivity for homes and businesses. Tillman is teaming up with T-Mobile Fiber as the residential internet provider to connect homes with fiber internet across the Treasure Coast as part of its continued expansion in Florida and beyond.<\/p>\n

The Treasure Coast continues to emerge as one of the state\u2019s most important growth corridors, and that growth requires infrastructure designed for long-term performance,\u201d said Carl E. Erhart, SVP of Public Policy and Compliance at Tillman Fiber. \u201cReliable fiber connectivity plays a critical role in supporting economic development, education, healthcare access, and business recruitment. Tillman Fiber is investing in infrastructure that will help these communities meet growing connectivity needs and compete and thrive for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tillman Fiber operates an open-access network, enabling multiple internet service providers to deliver service over shared fiber infrastructure. The model is designed to expand consumer choice and competition while providing service providers with access to high-quality fiber infrastructure without requiring duplicative network construction.<\/p>\n

The Treasure Coast buildout is also expected to support local jobs across construction, engineering, and field operations as network deployment advances throughout the region.<\/p>\n

Once complete, the new infrastructure will support the region\u2019s evolving connectivity needs, including remote work, education, healthcare, small business operations, business recruitment, and emerging technologies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Have local business news?
